Prerequisites:
Both weeks will be aimed at graduate students and beginning
researchers who have some background in either homotopy theory, commutative
algebra or representation theory and who would like to learn about the
interactions between these fields. A majority of
the topics are covered in standard courses on homology
and commutative algebra. Some topics are slightly
more advanced though, and students will probably find it beneficial to
review this background material before the summer school.
